Popular Nigerian actress Ekene Umenwa has disclosed that some cabal in Nollywood once told her to trade her Christian faith for success.
DAILY POSTS reports that Umenwa made the disclosure in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
While recounting the pressure she faced from the unnamed individuals, Umenwa maintained that she refused to compromise her faith and return to Jesus, whom she referred to as her Father, for comfort.
Sharing a video of her vibing to the popular gospel song, ‘No Turning Back’, she said “When I came to Nollywood many years ago with my Jesus, I was told by some folks to drop Jesus & Mary to move with the flow so that I can make it. They said, Ekene this game no be Jesus oo.
“I was like chimo, is that so? Never. I ran to my father, and Jesus told me to move ahead. I thank God today that many people have joined me to proclaim Jesus in Nollywood.”
